1) A population of genetically modified

1 answer:

7 0

This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.

So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.

There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.

Answer:

Total interest = $3.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Since she can pay $72 each month we can divide the payments on monthly basis till all the money is paid.

The annual interest rate is 24.7%, so the monthly rate will be 24.7 ÷ 12= 2.058%

For the first month

With payment of $72 the remaining amount will be 189.56 - 72 = $117.56

Interest paid will be 0.02058 * 117.56 = $2.42

Total amount owed now will be 117.56 + 2.42 = $119.98

For the second month another payment of $72 is made

The remaining will be 119.98 - 72 = $47.98

Interest charged will be 0.02058 * 47.98 = $0.99

The amount owed will be 47.98 + 0.99 = $48.97

In the third month she will pay the remaining $47.98 which is within her monthly limit

Total interest paid = Sum of Amount paid each month - Initial amount spent

Total interest = {(72 * 2) +48.97} - 189.56 = $3.41

White raven [17]

Answer:

a. 1.0833

Absolute Error = 0.416667

Relative Error = 1.250002

b. 0.0011070

Absolute Error = 0.0011070

Relative Error = 0.003321

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

1/3 = 0.333333

3/4 = 0.75

100/301 = 0.332226

1/3 + 3/4

= 0.333333 + 0.75

= 1.083333

= 1.0833 ------ Approximated to 5 significant digits

Absolute Error = |Real Value - Estimated Value|

Relative Error = Absolute Error/Real Value

Assume 1/3 to be the real value and 3/4 to be the estimated value

Absolute Error = |0.333333 - 0.75|

Absolute Error = |-0.416667|

Absolute Error = 0.416667

Relative Error = 0.416667/0.333333

Relative Error = 1.250002

1/3 - 100/301

= 0.333333 - 0.332226

= 0.001107

= 0.0011070 ----- Approximated to 5 significant digits

Assume 1/3 to be real value and 100/301 to be estimated value

Absolute Error = 0.333333 - 0.332226

Absolute Error = 0.0011070

Relative Error = 0.0011070/0.333333

Relative Error = 0.003321

Absolute and relative errors are approximation errors and they are due to the discrepancy between an exact value and some approximation to them.

The absolute error is the magnitude of the difference between the exact value and the approximation. The relative error is the absolute error divided by the magnitude of the exact value
